Levi's heir and nonprofit executive Daniel Lurie soundly beat incumbent Mayor London Breed to become San Francisco's next mayor. His victory is part of a broader centrist shift for this famously liberal city.
Philanthropist and Levi's heir Daniel Lurie has won the hard-fought race for San Francisco mayor, ushering in a new era of leadership for a city whose voters made clear they are fed up with brazen retail theft and sprawling tent cities. It took two days to determine a winner under San Francisco's ranked-choice voting system, which allows voters to select multiple candidates by order of preference.
'This is not an election that was about an ideological or policy-based shift or rejection of Breed,' said Jason McDaniel, a political science professor at San Francisco State University. 'It’s an outsider who is different and who was able to portray himself in that way as someone who will do things differently.' In a marked shift for San Francisco, the city's wealthy tech sector played an influential role in this year's race.
